Roman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Has these weird lines through it... Cant see it from the inside, but it's annoying. concerned that it's delaminating or something like that? Good idea to get screen replaced, or not to worry.

Yowzer Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Cheap chinese replacement windscreen. It's just some weird polarizing effect. It won't explode or anything. You won't be able to wear polarized sunglasses in it though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbaines Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I have asked Auntie Google for an answer, to which she showed me: VISUAL APPEARANCE Tempered glass possesses the basic optical qualities of annealed glass. The induced stress condition sometimes produces a slight bow in tempered glass lights. Tempered glass that has been manufactured in a vertical tempering oven contains small surface depressions resembling dimples along one edge. These marks are caused by the pointed metal tongs which support the glass during its passage through the oven. Glass which is passed horizontally through an oven may contain a very slight surface wave caused by contact with the rollers. The waviness can sometimes be detected when viewing reflected images from a large distance. Finally, the air quench nozzles discharge air in a fixed, reciprocating or rotating motion. The area of air quench can be seen through polarized glass as arrays of irridescent spots or lines. Under some lighting conditions these patterns can be seen in ordinary light. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostchips Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 i noticed that light passing through the atmosphere at an extreme angle becomes slightly polarized at this latitude. This allows people to see some of the polarizing in daylight. Not really a problem unless you wear polarized glasses a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I wondered what that was for ages after seeing it in photos, then I bought some polarising sunglasses, I have noticed the effect is lesser on newer cars, 70's are wavy as shit, 80's is more even and new cars just look like they have a purple tinge to the entire screen. I've only noticed it from the inside of one old vehicle (hiace), it's not much of a problem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Vapour Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I only wear polorized glasses and its never been an issue. Do you have a polorized filter on that lens when you took the photos?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 What. That's normal, Roman. Don't be concerned. Part of the manufacturing process. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yeah normal as. Like kicker said all old cars have it and the newer ones must have some uv block that turns the screen purple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I had a sunny coupe one that had that too. It used to give me the shits. I cleaned that screen with window cleaner, thinners, prepsol, brake cleen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
